Julian Priester • Spiritsville

 

Hard wailing hardbop, touched by some of the modernist sensibilities that Priester forged while working in his Chicago underground years that included brief stints with Sun Ra! The set's one of the best hardbop sides to be cut for the Jazzland label -- and it's got a relaxed soulful feel that puts it among some of the great lost jazz albums from the early 60s. Priester leads the group with a great deal of tightness, and players include a young McCoy Tyner on piano, the soulful Charles Davis on baritone sax, the excellent tenor player Walter Benton, and the always wonderful rhythm team of Sam Jones and Art Taylor. Tracks include "Blue Stride", "Excursion", "Chi Chi", and "Spiritsville". Very nice -- and very hard to find!

Hard wailing hardbop, tocado por algunas de las sensibilidades modernistas que Priester forjó mientras trabajaba en sus años underground de Chicago, ¡que incluyeron breves temporadas con Sun Ra! El conjunto es una de las mejores caras del hardbop que se grabó para el sello Jazzland, y tiene un aire relajado y conmovedor que lo sitúa entre algunos de los grandes álbumes de jazz perdidos de principios de los 60. Priester lidera el grupo con gran firmeza, y entre los músicos se incluyen un joven McCoy Tyner al piano, el conmovedor Charles Davis al saxo barítono, el excelente tenor Walter Benton, y el siempre maravilloso equipo rítmico de Sam Jones y Art Taylor. Los temas incluyen "Blue Stride", "Excursion", "Chi Chi" y "Spiritsville". Muy bonito -- ¡y muy difícil de encontrar!
